No Sponsorship, Funding, or Endorsement:

Jazba is a software platform. Jazba does not sponsor, fund, pay, reward, or otherwise financially support any user, organizer, team, team manager, club, player, or event. Creating a team, organizing an event, or becoming a verified organizer does not entitle you to any payment, prize, equipment, venue, promotion, or other benefit from Jazba.

• Organizers and team managers act on their own behalf and at their own cost. Venue, referees, equipment, prizes, insurance, permits, and all other expenses of a team or event are your sole responsibility
• Nothing on the Services creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or sponsorship relationship between Jazba and any user, organizer, team, club, or event. You must not state or imply that Jazba sponsors, owns, or endorses your team or event, other than through the sharing features we provide
• Labels such as "Verified" organizer, "Verified" result, and "Age Verified" only mean that a review or check was completed within the platform. They are not a guarantee, endorsement, or warranty by Jazba about any person, team, event, or result
• Any sponsorship arrangement you make with a third party (including sponsor logos on live overlays) is solely between you and that party. Jazba is not a party to it

While you own your User Content, we do not guarantee backup or recovery of data. We recommend keeping your own records of important information.
